A spokesman of AJK Election Commission said deadline for registration of votes has been extended until March 25, due to heavy rains and land sliding, in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
He said that new voter lists are almost complete but in some areas the process is partially affected due to heavy rain.
According to the spokesperson, the prepared draft of voter lists will be sent to NADRA for verification. The schedule issued on 28th February 2016 has been cancelled and the schedule will be re-announced after the commission receives verified voter lists from NADRA
He informed that the EC has written a letter to government asking them not to transfer the staff deputed for preparation of voter lists without prior consent of the chief election commissioner.
